The Department of Biological Sciences is a diverse group of faculty and students focused
on the study of living organisms across a wide variety of scales from
the cellular and molecular to the landscape scales. In addition,
students and faculty regularly collaborate with colleagues in other
departments and institutions to foster truly interdisciplinary
approaches both in the classroom and in the research setting. Research
strengths of the department include: Biochemistry
and Molecular Biology, Ecology
and Conservation Biology, and Neuroscience
and Behavior.

The mission of the department is three-fold:

To provide high-quality instruction in Biology for
undergraduate and graduate students

To conduct research of
national and international significance in the field of Biology

To provide professional leadership to the national and
international scientific communities

We offer three undergraduate majors (biology,
microbiology and neuroscience), two specializations (Ecology and
Conservation Biology; Marine and Aquatic Biology) and master's
and doctoral degree work in the three areas of focus as well as
in related areas.

The department is proud of the education we provide students in our
courses at all levels and the research experiences they gain in the
laboratory and field. Our students are among the most competitive when
they graduate and go on to succeed in their chosen field upon
completion of their undergraduate or graduate work at the University.
